Cafe Lalo

 

So, Saturday was a busy day.  A good friend in the design world was in town from CT.  We hit the Punk Couture exhibit at the Met Museum - I am a member & hit the joint regularly.

This is an exhibit to be relished; it is truly fascinating.  My advice to anyone planning to see this exhibit is to go online, www.metmuseum.org  to read about what you will see;   this will be time well-spent.   Of course, while you are there, take in a gallery or two & the gift shops - they are a wealth of information unto themselves.   I love that place. 

 

Now, this green fellow above has a lot in common with the designers featured at the Met Museum.  He designs his own home, his own 'couture' wear & offers beauty & pleasure to anyone catching him at work.   His green outfit for the day was a perfect match to his environment.  Besides he is organic!  His head was a shocking, glisteny orange.  Man, this guy knows how to dress!   He was in the wisteria vine along the fence in front of Cafe Lalo.  I am always studying things as I walk & love, particularly, the curling tendrils of this vine.  As I was walking & looking, here was the roly-poly guy doing his thing.  He was a fashionplate! 

 

Speaking of plates...

 

Cafe Lalo is a delightful place.  It looks, from the outside, exactly as it looked in the film, "You've Got Mail" with Ryan & Hanks.  Inside as well, with a little reconfiguration of seating.   Delectable food, pink lemonades, gorgeous desserts.  So fun for visitors & city dwellers alike.   The white fairy lights in the trees add the perfect touch.  I think green-guy agrees.
